President Cyril Ramaphosa leads the 5km Nelson Mandela Walk.
When Barack Obama was in the White House, photos of him playing pickup basketball or running on the grounds served as a constant reminder that wellness and high-stakes leadership walk hand in hand.
In South Africa, President Cyril Ramaphosa has quietly carved out a similar identity, one brisk step at a time.
Known for his love of early morning walks, Ramaphosa once again swapped his boardroom suits for running shoes and a scarf.
On Sunday, 19 July, he joined thousands of South Africans at Johannesburg's DP World Wanderers Stadium for the annual Mandela Day Walk and Run.
